LONDON (Alliance News) - Barclays PLC has suspended a number of its foreign exchange traders under a regulator probe into currency markets, BBC News reported Friday.
However, there is no suggestion of wrongdoing.
The suspension of the traders follows media reports that Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC suspended two of its foreign exchange traders in connection with the investigation.
Regulators, including the UK's Financial Conduct Authority, are investigating possible manipulation of the USD3 trillion foreign exchange market.
Barclays shares were Friday quoted at 258.20 pence, down 2.05%.
